Radio 4 - Live in Islington

"...tonight, ennui seems to be the word of the hour. After a decent start with an energetic "Calling All Enthusiasts" and "Our Town", recent single "Party Crashers", while greeted with enthusiasm, marks the beginning of a downturn in tonight's events when it manages the rarity of actually sounding less interesting live than on record. A handful of kids shake their limbs in a frenzy at the front of the Academy as if they were at the centre of the world's most hardcore club but, ultimately, the sound just doesn't seem to fill the venue."
